A groundbreaking live music collaboration between two titans of avant-garde electronic music, Actress and Suzanne Ciani.

Where Actress & Ciani undoubtedly entwine is through total singularity in their respective sounds. Each have displayed an unrelenting desire to create unique musical environments and forms around their projects that is unmatched by their contemporaries. 

By harnessing the power of their similarities and differences, they'll come together in a never seen before collaboration. We will see how the juxtaposition of the natural and industrial world can offer a space for sonic play underpinned by the unconventional rhythmic framework of Actress’ industrial practice ‘R&B’ Concrète via Ciani’s natural expressions on the Buchla. 

The result? A brand new boundary-pushing performance that will creatively challenge the dense conceptual framework of two of the most distinctive and inventive talents in electronic music, presented in quadraphonic sound.
